Markets are softening. Prices are falling. Its the perfect time to demand supplier concessions, right?

Wrong. In the rush for savings, its easy to forget that supplier balance sheets are weakening and that bankruptcies are skyrocketing. So organizations that adopt hyper-aggressive sourcing are at risk of inflicting irreparable damage to their supply base.
